Shikhar Dhawan has been out of action from cricket for a while. He was last seen during the series-deciding third ODI against Australia in Bengaluru earlier this year where he ended up injuring his shoulder while fielding. Not only could he bat in that contest but also ended up missing the New Zealand series that followed. 

Meanwhile, all the global sporting events have either been postponed or cancelled due to the global pandemic. Just like other sportspersons, even Dhawan has kept himself quarantined. However, he has lately come up with a very important message.
